But  the most amazing number of all might be the <a href="http://tnne.ws/2fvpZ1M" target="_blank">value of its antlers</a>.Gallatin,  Tenn., resident Stephen Tucker bagged the big buck with a massive  47-point non-typical rack Nov. 7 in Sumner County. He is probably in  line for a huge payday.The rack itself could be worth more than  $100,000, said Jared Steele, owner of Great Basin Antler Buyers in Utah,  who is among the nation’s top antler buyers.<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/11/09/whitetail-deer-record-tennessee/93541950/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/9065941e142eb769bb76794c742e08d1e14ee558/r=300/http/www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/9065941e142eb769bb76794c742e08d1e14ee558/r=300/http/www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/6060c4edd02f227de0f9466b7b3eb3f1972d019b/c=178-0-1860-1682/local/-/media/2016/11/09/USATODAY/USATODAY/636142883997833011-110916state-deer-record-TN.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/11/09/whitetail-deer-record-tennessee/93541950/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/11/09/whitetail-deer-record-tennessee/93541950/" target="_blank">USA TODAY</a><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/11/09/whitetail-deer-record-tennessee/93541950/" target="_blank">Tennessee hunter bags state, possible world-record, deer</a><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/11/09/whitetail-deer-record-tennessee/93541950/" target="_blank"></a>“It’s  hard to put an exact number on it, but to the right buyer it could be  worth a hundred grand,” said Steele. “Especially if it turns out to be a  world record because there are people who collect stuff like that who  are millionaires. To them it might be worth more than $100,000. You  never know.”Tucker, 26, hasn’t yet decided what he will do with  the antlers. He stored them in a local bank and is awaiting a 60-day  drying out period that must take place from the day he killed the deer  with a muzzleloader for the official Boone and Crockett measurement to  take place.Racks are measured from side to side at the farthest  points and inside the spread of the main stems using the official Boone  and Crockett scoring method. The Boone and Crockett Club, founded in  1887 and named after Davey Crockett and Daniel Boone, created the first  big-game scoring system.Capt. Dale Grandstaff, of the Tennessee  Wildlife Resources Agency and an official Boone and Crockett scorer,  measured the rack at 313-2/8 inches gross. The net gross after  deductions was 308⅜ inches.A non-typical rack is asymmetrical and does not have the same number of points on each side like a typical rack.<img src="http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/e05d89830fd60a0a088cb6621f995006e6d88186/c=217-0-2455-1682&r=x408&c=540x405/local/-/media/2016/11/09/USATODAY/USATODAY/636142883997833011-110916state-deer-record-TN.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Stephen  Tucker, 26, of Gallatin, Tenn., shows off the whitetail deer with a  47-point rack he killed Nov. 7, 2016, in Sumner County, Tenn. (Photo: Courtesy of Stephen Tucker)The  current Tennessee record buck killed by a hunter in 2000 grossed 256  points and netted 244⅜ inches. The world record killed by an Iowa hunter  in 2003 had 38 points and scored 307⅝ inches net.Tucker said he  has been flooded with inquiries since the story first appeared at  Tennessean.com from people wanting to know what he intends to do with  the rack."I don’t have any plans for it right now,” Tucker said  Tuesday. “I don’t know what I’m going to do. I'm just going to go with  the flow. I just feel very blessed.”If Tucker decides to allow  vendors and wildlife organizations to pay him to display the rack, he  probably will find that it actually increases in value.“It’s  going to hold its value for sure,” Steele said. “It would be like an  investment. Once more people learn about it, more people will get  interested and want to see it. People are going to want to display it on  different shows, and all sorts of stuff will come from it.”<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/11/16/whitetail-deer-record-tennessee-antlers/93950882/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/11/16/whitetail-deer-record-tennessee-antlers/93950882/" target="_blank"></a>- - - Updated - - -sorry of this is a repeat - if so destroy it V</blockquote>
